Hybrids are pollutant and a way embraced by traditional car makers to delay BEVs.

As said a modern hero : “Why run this crazy experiment of changing the chemical composition of the atmosphere and oceans by adding enormous amounts of CO2?… That’s crazy. That’s the dumbest experiment in history, by far.”

Volkswagen and all the companies that make up the Volkswagen group have come to epitomize the failures of the past. When I see, hear or read anything from anyone about Volkswagen I can’t help but think of a company with no ethics, no morals and would do anything for money. I want to say, “go hide under a rock because you are irrelevant”.

I have a Golf GTE with an advertised range of 31 electric miles. I’m lucky to get 15 in normal driving. It can be very quiet on a smooth road, though, but on an average road the tyre roar makes it every bit as noisy as my previous Golf GTD, which would do 70 mpg on a London trip. If only they would do something about those awful, park bench hard seats, it would be great.
